‘Thank God we’re still alive’: UNRWA staffers keep working under fire

The Spokesperson for the UN Palestine refugee agency (UNRWA) in Gaza has seen his own home partially destroyed and family members injured as Israel continues its assault and bombardment. 

Adnan Abu Hasna, told UN News on Tuesday that his son, brother and many other family members have been injured following displacement from the north, driving home the reality that nowhere is safe inside the enclave. The death toll for UNRWA workers since 7 October so far stands at 67.

He told UN News’s Ezzat El-Ferri that unless more fuel can be allowed into Gaza to keep hospitals and bakeries running, the agency may be forced to suspend or reduce operations within days.
